Aaron Lewicki Receives CCHA's Terry Flanagan Memorial Award

Mar 18, 2010

Ferris State University men's ice hockey senior forward
Aaron
Lewicki (Livonia) has been selected as the 2009-10
season recipient of the Terry Flanagan Memorial Award as announced
by the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) as its annual
awards banquet this Thursday (March 18) evening at the
historic Fox Theatre in Detroit, Mich.

The Terry Flanagan Memorial Award is given annually to an
upperclassman that has overcome some type of personal adversity and
is active on the university campus and surrounding community. It is
named for the Bowling Green assistant coach who passed away in
December 1991 after a battle with cancer. The recipient is chosen
by a committee comprised of league athletics directors and faculty
athletics representatives.

Lewicki was born with scoliosis (curvature of the spine) which
has limited his ability to participate and prepare at a high level
in practice and weightlifting situations. In 2007, Lewicki's
mother (Sue) passed away just a couple of weeks before reporting to
fall camp for his upcoming 2007-08 sophomore season at Ferris
State.

Recently, Lewicki was designated as Ferris State's 2009-10 CCHA
Scholar-Athlete representative for the third straight season
(2007-08, 2008-09, and 2009-10). The FSU right wing also has
been chosen as the Bulldog hockey team's Scholar-Athlete Award
winner the past two seasons (2007-08 and 2008-09).

This past season (2008-09), Lewicki was bestowed with the Ferris
State Athletics Department's Jimmy Swears Courage Award. The
honor is presented to a deserving student or current personnel with
the Bulldog Athletics program who, when confronted with a
life-altering situation, has used perseverance, dedication and
determination to overcome the odds.

Lewicki is presently midst his most productive season at Ferris
State with career highs to date in points (23), goals (12), assists
(11), plus/minus efficiency (+3), and
power-play lamplighters (seven). The 6-0, 196-pound
forward's 23 points in 38 contests this 2009-10 campaign is
fifth most of the team while his five multiple-point game
performances rank tied for fourth best among the squad's
leaders. He has played an integral role in leading nationally
eighth-ranked Ferris State to a current 21-11-6 overall record and
its first appearance in the CCHA Championships since the 2002-03
campaign.

For his career, Lewicki has currently amassed 71 points on 35
goals with 36 assists in 146 outings. He has registered nine
power-play markers, one short-handed tally, and six game-winning
goals during his Bulldog career.
